Chapter 195 A Really Clever Plan
In everyone's eyes, marrying a man of Shen Jiheng's status and power is something many women dream of, and they would rather die than divorce him.
As it turned out, the news of Han Xi's divorce back then spread like wildfire in Chongqing, with everyone saying that she didn't know what was good for her.
"Now you know why I told you to make a good impression on Han Xi before. It was to build that connection and find an opportunity to cooperate with the Shen family. But now it's all gone."
After the agent finished speaking, seeing Ai Bao'er's unwilling face, he reminded her again.
"Let's put this matter aside for now and resolve it properly so that Shen Jiheng won't cause us any more trouble. If you encounter reporters asking questions in the future, you need to respond flexibly."
"I've got it."
"Just remember, even if we shift the blame onto ourselves, we can't let Han Xi take it, otherwise we'll be in a lot of trouble."
Ai Bao'er rolled her eyes in displeasure. She was a top star with tens of millions of fans, and she had many directors and big shots supporting her behind the scenes. She no longer took many people seriously.
She was just furious that not only was her contract terminated, but she was also humiliated.
"Sister Jiao, you're getting more and more timid. Anyway, I'll handle it."
The agent sighed. It wasn't that she was afraid of trouble, but rather that the other party was simply someone she couldn't afford to offend.
In the car, Shen Jiheng handed Han Xi a bottle of water and thoughtfully opened it for her.
"Why did you bother to come through the flood?"
Han Xi understood his good intentions, but he didn't need to do so.
Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "I have said before that we have common interests."
Han Xi glanced at him and could sense a change in his expression.
“I think it’s more than that. Just say what you have to say.”
"I heard from Beichen that you plan to send your child to school."
Ultimately, the topic of children came up again, and Han Xi felt inexplicably nervous. She took a breath and nodded, trying to appear calm.
“Yes, most of her peers are already in kindergarten, and Yuxuan is lively and active. She has mentioned to me several times that she wants to go to school.”
“I was worried that Yumo would have a hard time adapting, so I wanted to stay by her side and comfort her. I asked some experts, and they said that this type of child will have special feelings for a certain person, and I think that person is me.”
Shen Jiheng's meaning was clear: from the first time he and his daughter met, to every time Han Yumo noticed him afterward, she would take the initiative to approach him; this was a reaction that was unique to him.
Han Xi could not deny this; his daughter had indeed chosen him.
“I know your concerns, and I promise I won’t cause you any trouble. I just want to help your child get back to normal.”
simple?
Han Xi felt that this word was so awkward to use on him, and she believed that Shen Jiheng had not said what he really thought.
The unknown always makes people uneasy, and Han Xi wanted to figure out his purpose.
"Shen Jiheng, what exactly do you want to do?"
"I want to make amends."
"Is it really that simple? They won't try to take them away from me."
Shen Jiheng gave a bitter smile. Han Xi still didn't understand his heart. He wanted to take the mother and her two children away with him.
"That will absolutely not happen; everything will be done according to your wishes."
Hearing his resolute words, Han Xi wondered if he was just overthinking things and that he had never considered fighting for the child.
“You can come see Yumo. I’ll take them to school in a couple of days. If you’re free, you can come along too.”
Han Xi put aside her prejudices; getting her daughter back to health was now the top priority.
Shen Jiheng then said, "If it's convenient for the Gu family, I'd like to stay for a while so I can spend more time with the children and build a stronger bond with them."
"...You really know how to climb up the pole; is there anything you can't do?"
Han Xi merely took a step back, but he immediately went too far and wanted to move into the Gu family home.
Shen Jiheng's explanation was well-reasoned and supported by evidence.
"First of all, it's a matter of time. You see, I have to finish my work at the company before I can go there. The round trip takes up a lot of time, so I can't spend much time with my child. Besides, there are still two weeks until school starts, and I want to start counseling my child as soon as possible."
That makes sense, but it's impossible for him to live at the Gu family's house.
No matter how nicely you put it, it still won't work.
"Then you can switch to another option. You can take the child back to the Shen family."
Han Xi glared at him. Shen Jiheng had really thought this through. He easily brought up the issue.
Seeing her reaction, Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "I absolutely don't mean anything else. It's purely for the good of the child. Or you can let me try it for two days first. If it works, you can continue to keep me in the Gu family."
Han Xi sensed that someone was trying hard to promote themselves.
It must have been quite a feat for the dignified CEO Shen to lower himself to do this.
Han Xi thought for a moment and nodded: "Let me discuss this with my grandfather and the others first. We can't just bring an outsider back with us."
Shen Jiheng pointed to himself and said awkwardly, "Outsider? Don't be so absolute. We have many connections. Do you need me to list them out for you?"
Han Xi waved her hand to interrupt him; she didn't want to discuss this topic.
"Okay, I'll let you know the result after I discuss it with them."
The two looked at each other, and Han Xi saw a pity in his eyes that she had never seen before. Was he pitying himself?
If Han Xi wasn't mistaken, Shen Jiheng must have been investigating what had happened over the years behind the scenes, otherwise he wouldn't be so remorseful.
Shen Jiheng escorted her to the entrance of Han Shu Group and said with a smile, "I'll wait for your news."
Han Xi nodded and walked forward without looking back.
What she wanted was never Shen Jiheng's self-blame...
Han Xi had just stepped into the hall when a voice called her back.
"Han Xi~"
Han Xi turned around in surprise and saw the old lady standing behind her, carrying a lot of things in her hands.
Han Xi quickly stepped forward to take the things from her hands and helped her sit down on the sofa.
"Grandma, why did you come all the way here? If you need anything, just call me and I can come to you."
The old lady smiled kindly and said, "Coming to see you in person shows even more sincerity."
Han Xi roughly understood what she meant; if Shen Qingzhou knew it, the old lady must know it too.
The old lady held her hand, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "Child, you've really gone through a lot. Grandma thanks you. I know that rascal Shen Qingzhou came to cause you trouble, but I've already warned him that he won't bother you again."
"Grandma, I'm sorry for keeping this from you. I just didn't want to complicate things."
She felt no guilt towards Shen Jiheng, but felt sorry for the old lady and Madam Shen.
The old lady, being reasonable, said, "You've done enough. If it were me, I would have done even worse. I would have remarried and changed the child's surname long ago, and he would never have had a chance in this life."
Han Xi smiled awkwardly. Sure enough, it's only interesting when it's a stabbing done by a family member.
Then the old lady switched her tone and spoke in his favor.
"Ji Heng has experienced too much darkness since childhood, which has led to a great deficiency in his personality. He doesn't know how to love someone at all. He is too aggressive and can't control himself."
Thinking about Shen Jiheng's way of doing things, it perfectly matches the old lady's description.
Seeing the expectant look in her eyes, Han Xi took the initiative to say, "Grandma, I know you want to see the child. I will arrange for you to meet as soon as possible."
